The British BBC network reported on Saturday that a group of Dutch scientists claims it has found an antibody capable of preventing human infection with the corona virus and preventing covid-19 disease.

The group of scientists, researchers at the Erasmus Medical Institute at the University of Utrecht, claim to have discovered an antibody to the world that causes devastation, while looking for a more effective antibody to the SARS-1 virus.

The British news network claimed that the Dutch's findings were still under review and that the antibody's effectiveness had not yet been comprehensively tested. If the antibody is found to be effective, it will go into human trials, which can take months before a vaccine approved for use on human ovaries is developed.

Dutch researchers hope to convince one of the largest pharmaceutical corporations to support the development and mass production of the vaccine once it has passed all the necessary approvals.

Is humanity on the verge of developing a vaccine for Corona?

This is not the first time an antibody has been revealed that could be effective in treating Corona. Researchers in the UK and Hong Kong have already claimed to have discovered antibodies that may be used to develop a vaccine for the virus. An Israeli research institute has announced that it has successfully developed and tested a vaccine for the effective corona virus in poultry.
